Rules?

so apparently there is some unwritten rules that apply to the server? how is anyone supposed to know not to bhop more than 3 traps or not muting a moderator, that still can use text chat? I mean shouldn't the rules be written somewhere so people can know about them? like adding the rules to the loading screen or add !motd. well anything is better than nothing

I never heard about that you are not allowed to mute a ranked person, it's rude but i never read you get punished for that. The not to bhop over 3 traps at once rule was a handsaid one back in 2012 and 2013 until psy added a bhop restriction which made it impossible to do such, but still to bhop.

I don't know why it wasn't added back to the server but should be back, it has seemed to disappear without someone noticing.

And these are just the ones I could find with a quick 5 minute search in the deathrun section. This shit needs doing, it's making it hard to play when not all of the players know the rules. Plus, how can you fucking enforce them if you can't point to a rule and say, "It's said here." You could just be making shit up for all the person being punished knows.

I'm going to have to go with Time here. The Deathrun server's moderation is currently in an abysmal state. It would help us ranks a TON if we could just give people a comprehensive, in depth, rule book.

Killing teammates on explosive traps should really be in the list, I've had several occasions where the person doing it has replied "It's not in the list of rules so you can't say I can't do it" or anything like that.

If you do it to a friend from time to time I don't mind if the friend doesn't, but on maps like Nanobil the mines have a large range and the trap after them is a fire trap which stops the runners for a good 10 seconds and you can kill quite a lot of people with them.

I think the 3rd assassin talked about this with Bob but I have no idea if they ended up agreeing that it should be in the list of rules.

Yes, Deathrun is an unorganized load of shit, everyone knows this, let me tell you why. (If I recall correctly)
Never, at any point in LDT's history, has Deathrun been under supervision of any admin.

I believe it started out in 2011, when Kazaki proposed to fix us up a Deathrun server. We agreed and it went quite alright, but eventually Kazaki faded out of the picture. When stuff broke due to Gmod updates (or even Gmod13), there was no one around to fix it. Consequently, several other people tried to fix it and we kept it running, slightly. Mistakes were made when Deathrun pointshop points were awarded waaaay too easily and prevented us from Syncing the DR Pointshop with the TTT one. Eventually Ninjameister proposed to take up on the task. At this point you might understand we're quite reluctant about taking on assistant developers; this really has never had a positive outcome. But we had little choice so we agreed. Ninja allegedly "recoded" the entire gamemode but the awful truth is that there's a lack of proper code to enforce some of the rules that are necessary. (For instance, Psy made an anti-bhop script which removed the need for an ambiguous rule about what you CAN use Bhop for, but Ninjameister got rid of it/disabled it/broke it.)

Eventually Sythen (aid to Ninjameister) left and things only worsened as Ninjameister let things deteriorate.
